Description

The Invisible Predator of Manchester: 160 Sleeping Victims: The Serial Abuse Case of Reynard Toesharta Marilu Sinaga One morning in June 2017, a rugby player wakes up in the wrong apartment being assaulted. What seemed like an isolated incident opens the most disturbing investigation in British legal history: a student with a permanent smile had abused at least 160 men without them knowing. The evidence was on his phone. He had recorded it himself. In this episode, we explore how an Indonesian narcissist operated for two years near the Factory Club, selecting heterosexual victims and administering GHB dissolved in alcohol while filming them. We examine WhatsApp messages where he boasts about his "secret poison," the stolen trophies cataloged in his room, and the impossible contradiction: friends joking about "bodies under the bed" without reporting anything, a church that endorsed him, a mother who denied everything. How did the most prolific serial abuser in the UK go unnoticed? Victim: Reynard Toesharta Marilu Sinaga Date: June 2, 2017 Location: Manchester, United Kingdom Status: Life sentence, minimum 40 years - Hundreds of hours of video recorded by the attacker himself documenting assaults on unconscious men - WhatsApp messages from January 2015 foreshadowing attacks with attached photos of fainted victims - Wallets, IDs, watches, and identity documents stolen kept as trophies in his apartment - Two confirmed victims attempted suicide; many were unaware of the attack until police contacted them two years later Reynard Sinaga, Manchester, sexual predator, serial abuse, 2017, forensic investigation, GHB, narcissist, serial killer, criminal minds, homicide, British justice, true crime Spanish If you'd like to listen to this podcast ad-free and access premium episodes, we invite you to try our subscription with a 14-day free trial at obomedia.com. © 2026 Created with OBOMEDIA technology.

episode Dismembered body, reverse version, impossible justice artwork

Dismembered body, reverse version, impossible justice

Dismembered body, reverse version, impossible justice: The murder of Diogo Gonçalves A waterfall in Portugal returned the head of a missing young man. Kilometers later, a torso wrapped in plastic hung from a cliff. The body had been cut with surgical precision. A social media post suggested suicide. But the numbers didn’t add up: 70,000 euros transferred from a dead man's account, a post-mortem fingerprint used as a method of access, unrequited love obsession as a motive. In this episode, we explore how two contradictory statements from the same accused - first blaming herself, then accusing her partner - led to irreconcilable sentences: one woman sentenced to 25 years who committed suicide before completing a day, and another acquitted of homicide who was recharged years later. The forensic evidence regarding diazepam levels, the method of dismemberment, and the exact role of each participant remains in total conflict. Victim: Diogo Gonçalves Date: March 18, 2020 Location: Algarve, Portugal (Tavira waterfalls, Sagres cliff, Sagres) Status: Case resolved with two convictions; one deceased in prison; reopened due to appeal - Diogo received 70,000 euros in compensation for his mother's death weeks before he was murdered, money that was transferred from his own account using his post-mortem fingerprint. - The dismemberment showed surgical precision, but the blood levels of diazepam were significantly lower than those stated in court, questioning the time and cause of death. - María Malveiro completely reversed her statement between February and March, going from blaming herself to accusing Mariana Fonseca of planning and executing the crime. - Mariana Fonseca was acquitted of homicide in the first instance but sentenced to 25 years for complicity on appeal four years later, based on the same evidence interpreted inversely.

episode Three years with corpses in the freezer artwork

Three years with corpses in the freezer

Three years with corpses in the freezer: The murder of Michelle Blair A freezer in the living room. Two bodies wrapped in plastic bags. And a mother who spent nearly three years next to them every morning as if nothing had happened, while her other two children went downstairs for breakfast unaware of what was inside. An eviction notice for unpaid rent was the only thing that stopped the horror. In this episode, we explore how Michelle Blair tortured and murdered her children Steven and Stony, kept their frozen bodies, and continued posting on Facebook "Loyal to my babies." We analyze the confession of her youngest son about alleged abuses—that never occurred—the documented scars on her surviving siblings, and how the child protective system failed in two previous investigations without consequences. Victim: Steven Gage Berry and Stony Blair Date: August 2012 - May 2013 Location: Detroit, Michigan Status: Life imprisonment without parole (June 2015) - Steven Berry was tortured for weeks in August 2012 following false allegations of abuse, died on August 30 from suffocation with a plastic bag. - Stony Blair was murdered in May 2013 following the same pattern: forced starvation, beatings, and suffocation, then placed in the freezer. - Matthew had 25 documented scars on his back from being beaten with an extension cord; he initially denied the abuses that justified the crimes. - Gaby was forced under the threat of death to place Stony's body in the freezer while Michelle posted messages of maternal loyalty on social media.

The chain that revealed Brenda's killer

The chain that revealed Brenda's killer: The homicide of Brenda Requena in San Juan, Argentina An open field in San Juan, July 2019. A man cries in front of the cameras, pleading for his missing wife to come home, while giving interviews about the infidelity that led her to flee. But five days later, two teenagers find charred remains in a bikum, and a small chain of the Virgin of Guadalupe destroys every word he spoke. In this episode, we explore how Diego Álvarez constructed a narrative of betrayal and abandonment while dismembering and burning Brenda's body, how his non-verbal communication revealed contradictions that the cameras captured, and how the testimony of two minors and a metal chain became the evidence that a justice system needed to stop years of documented gender violence. Victim: Brenda Requena Date: July 11, 2019 Location: San Juan, Argentina Status: Sentenced to life imprisonment (June 18, 2021) - Diego said that Brenda fled "half-naked across the fields," but her body was buried meters from their home. - In front of cameras, he denied having hit Brenda; Guajardo saw him strike her in the face under the railway bridge. - In a private call to his mother, he said "I messed up"; before the police, he recounted a story of infidelity and disappearance. - He confessed to having strangled Brenda but "couldn't remember anything else," while the autopsy detailed a deliberate process of dismemberment and burning.

episode Three unnamed DNA samples in Montañita artwork

Three unnamed DNA samples in Montañita

Three unnamed DNA samples in Montañita: The homicide of Marina Menegaz and María José Coni Two young Argentine women wrapped in plastic 40 meters apart, but one died two days before the other. When the police found the first body, the second was still alive. How is it possible that it took 48 hours to locate the second victim just a few dozen meters away? In this episode, we explore the contradictions between the confession of the three convicted individuals and the second autopsy: unilateral injuries suggesting they were thrown from a vehicle, not a struggle in a room; three DNA profiles found at the scene that the Ecuadorian justice system never identified; syringes that disappeared before being documented. Did a larger criminal network really operate that night in February 2016? Victims: Marina Menegaz, María José Coni Date: February 22-27, 2016 Location: Montañita, Santa Elena province, Ecuador Status: Three sentenced to 40 years each; investigation open for unidentified DNA - One of the victims recorded activity at an ATM on the day of the crime, contradicting the claim that they were out of money. - The second autopsy determined that María José Coni died two days after Marina, raising the question of where she was held captive. - Three distinct genetic profiles were found on the bodies and were never attributed to an identified person. - The syringes seen by witnesses at the home of the main accused disappeared before being photographed by the police.

The black bag of Taxco: death in less than an hour

The black bag of Taxco: death in less than an hour: The femicide of Camila Gómez Ortega Camila entered the neighbor's house at 1:00 PM. At 2:00 PM, cameras captured Ana Rosa carrying a black bag to a taxi. By 4:00 PM, her mother was desperately searching for her. The impossible contradiction: the captors were negotiating a ransom while the body was already traveling in the trunk. A crime executed before the disappearance was reported. How did a well-known family plan a femicide with a precision of 10 minutes? In this episode, we explore how security cameras destroyed Ana Rosa's alibi, why ransom messages were sent after the death, and what the three extortion messages in free fall (250,000 → 8,000 pesos) reveal about the true intentions of the captors. A serial killer planned in less than an hour that paralyzed Mexico in 72 hours. Victim: Camila Gómez Ortega, 8 years old Date: March 27, 2024 Location: Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico Status: Aggravated femicide; perpetrator in preventive detention - Security camera records Camila entering Ana Rosa's home at 1:00 PM; Ana Rosa denies that the girl arrived. - Autopsy confirms intentional mechanical asphyxia with time of death ~1:00 PM, minutes after Camila's arrival. - Three ransom messages sent between 4:00 PM and the early morning of March 28, when the body was already on the federal highway. - Lynching of Ana Rosa and her two children in an alley on March 28; Ana Rosa dies while being transported to the hospital.
